In the morning we checked the small mammal traps with 1 wild field mouse and 2 striped field mice. We saw middle spotted woodpecker around Jasavo and we also saw Wild boar and roe deer.
We visited a bat roost in an Orthodox Church where there greater and lesser mouse eared bats as well as 20/30 Geoffray's bats. The church interior was richly decorated with ceiling and wall paintings.
On the drive to Slovakia we stopped at the border which runs down the middle of the road. The border apparently divided up the old hungary meaning that most of the towns are Hungarian speaking, rather than Slovakian. Scanning round w saw 3 Buzzards and an Eastern Imperial Eagle.
A stop along the road at a natural 'rock garden' with house leek, yellow leek, eastern short-tailed blue, Wood White, Small White and Map.
We went for a Walk in the Szadeloi gorge with great views of Dipper and Asarabacca along the stream and Lesser Purple Emperor and White admirals in the car park. Half way up the gorge is a limestone peak known as the Tooth because of it's shape.
After lunch we drove up to Straseena where we checked the shutters in several house for roosting bats. Eventually we were very lucky to find Northern bat and Particoloured bat behind some upper floor shutters. There was also Mountain Pansy and a pink along the edge of Lake Dedinky.
We ate dinner in Rozsnyo which has a lovely medieval square before driving along the edge of a stream to set up the mist nets. Very quickly we were catching Noctules with Serotine, Schrieber's and 1 Grey Long-eared bats.
